3D games

So you got a 3D TV or maybe you’re going to get one. The thought has been in your head and it’s been gnawing at you. Perhaps, you even ordered the monitor already through a Black Friday deal.

Now, that you’re moving into the world of 3D gaming, the big question you face is What titles should you get? The experience in a new dimension varies widely depending on the developer. Some games show off the effect really well. In other games, it’s less noticeable.

I’ve had a chance to check out 3D gaming on the PlayStation 3D TV set (shown in picture above). Here’s a roundup of the best games that will give you the most wow for your buck.

Face Raiders:This is another release that comes preinstalled on the Nintendo 3DS. The game is a shooter but the gimmick is that the enemies are your friends. Riffing offPhoto Dojo,
the do-it-yourself fighting game, players take mugshots of their friends and Face Raiders turns the images into enemies in an augmented reality shooter. Players will have to tap the right shoulder button to fire at enemies. They’ll have to physically move around and dodge enemy fire. There’s even a boss fight at the end, where players have to shoot at spiked balls so that they fly toward the big bad, damaging it. For all intents and purposes, it works and it even excels if you’re playing on a swivel chair.
